Superintendent's Notes

SEPAC Annual Spring Ice Cream Social:

The Maynard Special Education Parent
Advisory Council (SEPAC) invites you to attend the Annual Spring Ice Cream
Social on Monday, June 3rd! Families of students receiving
special education are invited to attend this social. We will have ice cream,
crafts, coloring, light music, and books, as well as some snacks and drinks.
The social will take place on June 3, 2013 at The Fowler School Cafeteria, 3 Tiger Drive,
Maynard from 6:30 to 8:00 pm.

The boys' and girls' track teams both finished their season 5-1
and second in the league. Shannon Smith, Rosemary Cobb, Ashley
Chiasson, Mikaela Corbett, Anabelle Dentino qualified for the Central Mass
MIAA tournament for the girls and Ryan Fowler, Colby Lesage, Sean
Peterson, Jeff Gately, and Andrew Wilkins qualified for the boys. The
Varsity baseball team also qualified for the MIAA tournament.

The Booster Club sponsored Spring Sports Banquet will be May 22nd
in the high school cafe/auditorium. 6:15 social and 6:45 ceremony.

The MIAA mandated sports information night is scheduled for
Tuesday June 4th at 7:00 in the Fowler auditorium. At this meeting, I will
be discussing the MIAA rules, the Student-Athlete Handbook, the 2013-2014
athletic offerings, the new scheduling website, and the summer
training program. Attendance is mandatory in order to be eligible for the
2013-2014 season.

Starting June 24th, the Maynard Athletic Department will be
running a Strength and Conditioning Program at Fowler. The program will be
run by Corianne Zerbey, a former MHS student-athlete and certified
personal trainer. The morning conditioning session will be available for
students in grades 6-12 and run from 10-11am (M,T, Th,F).The afternoon
strength and conditioning program will be available for students in grades
9-12 and run for an hour and half starting at 4:00PM or 4:45PM(M,T, Th,F).
The cost of the conditioning sessions will be $150 for the summer and the
cost for the strength and conditioning sessions will be $200 for the
summer. Scholarships and special pro-rated fees will apply. Please email
me for details or register online using the following link. https://docs.google.com/a/maynard.k12.ma.us/forms/d/1p7UJlwrMCvkR3878Mbzq7K-zxa3H7ydW5vq-DLoGpKg/viewform?sid=4d80178e744d12b0&token=cfiDJj0BAAA.SmiLOQF-RR7IU5ObhjqYwA.bdFFS0RGLexVUR1H_KqFfA

The Maynard Athletic Department is looking for new championship
banner sponsors. The department will be purchasing new and improved
banners for the gym next year, and to help defy the cost, the department
is asking people to sponsor a banner. A plaque will be created and mounted
in the gym to commemorate the banner sponsors. If you, or a local
organization would like to sponsor a banner, please contact me. The
banners are $225 per banner.

Food for thought: "I hated every minute of training, but I
said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a
champion." Muhammad Ali

That is all for now, thanks for listening! Happy Spring!

Sincerely,

Kevin Caruso
